Victoria Cast Iron 8-Inch Tortilla Press

Made by a three-generation family metalworking business, this cast iron tortilla press is made with care and craftsmanship in mind. Aluminum tortilla presses are common, but sturdy cast iron yields more even pressure and extra weight. Its plates are made through a precise sand-casting and molding technique to ensure they (and your tortillas) are perfectly flat. A lever helps you evenly press the plates together, while the base and handle are reinforced so it will last for generations. Plus, it’s pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil, which is generally regarded as the most durable oil for seasoning cast iron because, when it polymerizes at high temperatures, it forms a structure that’s more durable than other common oils.

Ideal for tortillas, of course, but also flatbreads, smash burgers or tostones. To use the press, cover each side of the tortilla dough with parchment, plastic or wax paper to prevent sticking, place into the press and then close the press and gently use the lever to squeeze the plates together. The lever does the work for you, so there’s no need to strain.

If the press does need to be cleaned, use a damp cloth and very diluted soapy water. Wipe dry immediately. If you do use soap, apply a very light coat of oil or cast iron wax to refresh/maintain the seasoning and protect against ambient moisture.
